[Bug 42898] New: Listbox keyboard input
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42898 Bug ID: 42898 Summary: Listbox keyboard input Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: janwinehq(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- A listbox widget in Wine does not react the same way to keyboard input as in Windows. In Windows, you can type the first characters of a word and the cursor will jump to the first item matching *all* the characters you typed. This allows you to drill down quickly to the item you want. In Wine, when you start typing it only considers the *last* character you typed when looking for a match. On listboxes where you have lots of items starting with the same character, this can make it problematic to drill down to the correct item. This may be better explained with a simple example. Suppose you have a listbox with the following items, sorted alphabetically: * AMBER * BLUE * BROWN * GREEN * ORANGE * RED * YELLOW Windows behavior: * if you type "B", it will drill down to "BLUE" * if you type "BR", it will drill down to "BROWN" * if you type "BRO", it will drill down to "BROWN" Wine behavior: * if you type "B", it will drill down to "BLUE" * if you type "BR", it will drill down to "RED" * if you type "BRO", it will drill down to "ORANGE" -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42898 --- Comment #3 from Fabian Maurer <dark.shadow4(a)web.de> --- Good catch, the native ListBox doesn't do this. That seems to be a wxwidgets thing, or it maybe uses listview? As for now, I don't know. I have found a download for precompiled wxwidgets. Those are used by .NET applications, but still using the native widgets - hope that's not a problem. I only use those .NET binaries because I can't build wxwidgets from source right now, and didn't find another precompiled download. Link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxnet/files/wxnet/0.9.2/wx.NET-0.9.2.zip How to reproduce: - Unpack - cd into "Bin" - execute "controls.exe" - On the first tab the bottom list is affected (just click into it and type "this" -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

ListBox, type "F", "R", "A" => systematically lead to "France" Combobox, type "F", "R", "A" => mostly lead to "France", but depending on speed, lead to "France", "Roumanie", "Afganistan" sequence, which this does NOT happen with Listbox -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
